Benefits of technology

The invention provides a system that can prepare for a brake pedal actuation without actually performing a braking operation. This can improve braking effectiveness or safety without the user being surprised by an unannounced braking operation. An easy to detect brake indication is a quick release of the accelerator pedal, which only requires a simple sensor. However, it is important to note that the preparatory measure should not have a braking effect on the agricultural machine, as this would cause an unwanted brake operation.

Problems solved by technology

In some cases, this may lead to a panic reaction of the user and in the end to a dangerous situation.

Abstract

A method for operating a self-propelled agricultural machine that has a traction drive, a service brake, a control and a man machine interface including an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal, where a user actuation of the brake pedal causes the service brake to be operated. The method includes monitoring the user actuation of the accelerator pedal by the control to detect a brake indication, which is a predetermined indication for an approaching user actuation of the brake pedal. Upon detecting a brake indication, the control implements at least one preparatory measure by the control for the preparation of a user actuation of the brake pedal. The implemented preparatory measure alone does not have a braking effect on the agricultural machine.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO A RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The invention described and claimed hereinbelow is also described in European Priority Document EP 12006806.9, filed on Sep. 28, 2012. The European Priority Document, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference, provides the basis for a claim of priority of invention under 35 U.S.C. 119(a)-(d).BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to a method for operating a self-propelled agricultural machine, a self-propelled agricultural machine and a control for a self-propelled agricultural machine.[0003]German patent document no. DE 203 15 755 U1 discloses an agricultural machine that comprises a traction drive for generating a driving movement, a service brake for braking of the driving movement and a man machine interface. The man machine interface includes an accelerator pedal for influencing the speed and / or the torque of the driving movement provided by the traction drive and a brake pedal for operating the...
